Default Online based work - possible to move?

Just an interesting thought I had, there's an increasing amount of people who work from home for online based companies, basically creating content to earn money through things such as Youtube partnership, Machinima etc. If someone doing this wanted to move would it be possible, I would guess this would be classed as self employed as your generating your own revenue?

It doesn't matter if you drive yourself to the office every day or sit at home on the computer, if you are working in the US then you need the appropriate visa.

I am not sure what going on holiday to Colorado has to do with this.

The logic of employers getting into the Insurance business has always escaped me. I guess it is similar to the practice of providing company cars in the UK, much more logical to pay the wage and let people spend it on what they want.

Nor am I, but why would that be relevant to this thread ...
